His four-stroke lead gained yesterday was sufficient. The Swedish Julia Engstrom did not crack and is rewarded with a second title on the Ladies European Tour. Author of a card of 72 (+1) with a bogey assured for the victory at 18, the young Scandinavian of 19 years wins at -7 and raises the trophy of the 30rd edition of the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.

His only three putts on the 17th and only bogey after 36 holes is surely the turning point of the day. Celine Herbin made only one mistake but it prevents her from going for the playoff or at least putting pressure on the Swede. Finally the best Habs of the week signs a last card of 69 (-2) to share second place with Magdalena Simmermacher (ARG) to -6. Despite everything, a good performance for the native of Avranches, not far from a new title at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France after her victory in 2015.

Among the seven other French women on the Châteaux route this Saturday, it is Astrid Vayson De Pradenne which goes up the classification. In rhythm on this last lap, she makes a solid 69 (-2) to get a nice 6rd up to -2 total. Joanna klatten offers himself a top 10 with a last 70 (-1), Anne-Charlotte Mora finished 15th at +1 handicapped by a triple bogey at 18.

Lucie Malchirand, the only amateur in the cut, has also experienced a last complicated hole. Quadruple bogey ticked at 18, the Marseille player La Salette ends up disappointed but positive, proud to have played a weekend for her first tournament on the pro circuit. She sits 26rd at +3 total in the company ofAnne-Lise Caudal. Emie peronnin finish 35rd to +5.

The number: 4. Julia Engstrom thus becomes the 4rd Swedish to win at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France after Liselotte Neumann in 1987, Linda wessberg and in 2007 Caroline Hedwall in 2018.

An appointment is already made in September 2021 for the 31rd edition of the Lacoste Ladies Open de France!
